For two consecutive days, Han Jian was preparing to withdraw from Luoyang and return to Jiangdu, but on the other hand, he was also secretly investigating the news. Han Jian not only wanted to inquire about the news in the palace, but also the movements of Luoyang City and even the Western King and the Northern King Army to determine the culprit of the Luoyang Rebellion.

By the tenth day of the October 10th, Han Jian learned that the Western King had already made some moves, and his troops were out of the Western Capital, and his troops were invaded by Chang'an City. In Guanzhong, Chang'an City was larger than the Western Capital City. When the Western King conquered Chang'an, he tended to become an emperor in Guanzhong.

On the side of the Northern King, the movements were still unknown. The main reason was that Mrs. Luo’s eyeliner was there in Guanzhong. Han Jian could get the news as soon as possible. There were very few eyeliners arranged in the north by the Eastern King’s Mansion. It was difficult for Han Jian to check the military movements of the Xiaobei King.

As for the situation in the palace, it was like a pool of stagnant water, and even the needle could not be inserted into it. Han Jian could not know the current safety of the queen from all channels. Han Jian even speculated that the queen might have encountered an unexpected situation. The reason why Yang Yu did not ascend the throne was because the situation was unstable, and he did not dare to rashly establish himself as emperor. Han Jian guessed that the most critical link in the situation was the force behind Yang Yu that supported Yang Yu. Now, the Northern King is the most likely.

But the Northern King was imprisoned by the Queen in Luoyang City and had a tendency to lose power. Even if the Northern King Party had mixed forces, it could help the Northern King Party seize the Luoyang City, there were disputes within the Northern King Party, which was the battle between the Old King and the Xiaobei King. Now all activities are done by the Xiaobei King Yang Ke. After everything is settled, how could Yang Ke easily hand over the throne to his father? And Yang Yu is not a good-for-nothing lamp. Just within this party, there are three parties fighting for the throne, which is not considered the Western King, and the ambitious county prince like the Yanning County Prince.

In short, in the entire Luoyang City, Han Jian could only mobilize only fifty guards in the East Prince's Mansion. With these people, they were not even enough to protect the East Prince's Mansion, let alone change anything.

On October 11, Gu Weipan insisted on paying homage to the minister who died in prison with him. Han Jian could not twist him, and he had promised to go to worship with Gu Weipan. It was convenient that afternoon that day, paper pieces, ingots and candles were prepared and went out to worship.

Although it was a nominal worship, it was actually a public contact activity by Gu Weipan. The contact target was the ministers in the court. At the same time, the pressure on Yang Yu was to release the empress and return to the empress. Of course, this was just Gu Weipan's wishful thinking. The current situation of the empress is still a mystery, and the ministers in the court were surrendered to the situation and did not dare to come out to worship together.

There is also a bit absurd thing about this worship, that is, there is no object of worship at all, nor a specific place for worship.

Many people were imprisoned with Gu Weipan this time, several of them died, and some ministers were still detained in the Ministry of Justice, and their lives and deaths were unknown. The dead ministers were buried without any graves. As Han Jian said, Luoyang may be where the loyal souls return. According to Han Jian's meaning, to worship, Luoyang City is to worship all the way until the dead souls rest in peace.

The worship is actually just a cover. On the one hand, it is to contact the ministers. Another point is that Gu Weipan hopes to put pressure on Yang Yu in this way and force Yang Yu to release him. Although Han Jian knew that this was just Gu Weipan's wishful thinking.

The first day of worship was on October 11th, and the location was outside the Eastern Palace. Because Gu Weipan's legs were not healed and he was unable to move, and he insisted on not accepting help from others, he did not walk far outside the Eastern Palace. He just set up an incense burner and an altar to bury incense to worship.

At dusk, the worship also attracted the attention of some people, but the officials who had just escaped from the trouble of the Eastern Prince's Mansion were also "outsiders" like Han Jian and Yang Ronger. The worship was initiated by Gu Weipan, so everything was led by Gu Weipan. Han Jian was just a helper, responsible for helping hand incense and other things.

Until midnight, the people dispersed, and Gu Weipan still refused to leave. Han Jian and others from the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion also accompanied Gu Weipan to worship until late at night until it was confirmed that no ministers from all over the court had come.

"Chief Gu, it's already late at night, it's time to go back and rest." Han Jian stepped forward and persuaded.

At this time, Gu Weipan was full of vicissitudes and was silent at the incense and candle and the altar. Han Jian guessed that he was also very cold at this time. He was all loyal ministers of the queen at the time, but now he was a turtle. Seeing that the loyal ministers in Luoyang City died unjustly and the queen's life and death were uncertain, he launched such a worship activity, but in the end no minister came out to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Check things up." Gu Weipan turned around and walked towards the direction of the East Prince's door with a cane. Just when Han Jian thought Gu Weipan should have given up, he did not expect Gu Weipan to continue, "Continue tomorrow."

Han Jian smiled bitterly. Gu Weipan had the determination not to hit the wall and never look back. After all, he was still the stubbornness and stubborn temper of an old minister. However, Han Jian was also moved in his heart. An old minister like this still insisted on his beliefs and principles in his heart under such circumstances. It is valuable to put it in any dynasty and generation.

By the second day, the Eastern Prince's Mansion had been cleaned up and could leave Luoyang City at any time. So in the morning, Huang Lie came over anxiously. Since entering Luoyang City, Han Jian had not seen him for several days.

"Brother Han, you can find a way to find Miss Lin. I have been looking for him for a few days, but still nowhere is his whereabouts. Even her embroidery workshop has been closed. I inquired about the people who run the embroidery workshop in Luoyang City, but nowhere is her whereabouts." When Huang Lie saw Han Jian, he said with a pleading tone as if he had seen a savior.

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, but Huang Lie is still intent on Yi Die now. Originally, Han Jian wanted to say a few words to make Huang Lie give up, but when he thought about it, he seemed to find that something had been ignored by him.

It is the Jingshi Department.

In the capital, officials from various yamen in the court may be considered for themselves, and they can be ignored in the face of imperial power. However, the Shenzheng Department is an institution that the queen cultivated by the empress only loyal to the empress. Except for the empress, even the state of the country could not interfere in the operation of the Shenzheng Department. However, after the incident in Luoyang City, the Shenzheng Department was nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the one under the court was only the external yamen of the Shenzheng Department, led by Yu Han, the Shenzheng Department. Ling Jun, the real helmsman of the Shenzheng Department, was the most mysterious figure in the entire Wei Dynasty from beginning to end. Han Jian entered and exited the palace many times, and he didn't know which one was Ling Jun, the deputy chief minister of the Shangting Office.

"Let me let go of Miss Lin for the time being. I'll tell you in detail when I look back." Han Jian said to Huang Lie and turned to meet Gu Weipan.

Han Jian expected that he had never met Ling Jun. As the chief minister of the Supreme Court, Gu Weipan should know even if he had no friendship with Ling Jun.

But when Han Jian told Gu Weipan, Gu Weipan shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Majesty has always been the matter of the judicial department personally, and I will not be allowed to inquire about it. As for the position of deputy chief of the Shangdian Office, it is just hanged in the Shangdian Office, and no one knows how he is."

Only then did Han Jian realize that there was a link in the Luoyang City incident that no one could covet the throne, that is, the inner court of the Jingshi Department.

"Chief Gu knows where Ling Jun is?" Han Jian asked hurriedly.

Gu Weipan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

Han Jian did not ask, and he also knew that Gu Weipan was in a bad state now and would continue to watch at night to worship him. It is not advisable to let him be too busy.

When Han Jian came out, Huang Lie was still waiting in the main hall for Han Jian to talk about "Miss Lin". Han Jian naturally had no time to tell him this. He wanted to come back to discuss how to find Ling Jun.

When Yang Ronger and Han Cui learned about Han Jian’s intentions, they were a little puzzled, especially Yang Ronger. In her opinion, since the court surrendered to Yang Yu’s power, what kind of waves can a deputy chief minister just give in?

Yang Ronger said: "Everyone in the court knows that the Shenzheng Department was just established to investigate the case. The staff is limited, and even if this person is found, it will be of no help."

After all, Han Cui was older and had some understanding of the affairs in the court. When Han Jian mentioned it, Han Cui thought about it and said, "Your Majesty did mention it before. No one in the world can believe it, but only those who are cautious in the Criminal Department, Your Majesty believes it deeply."

Yang Ronger asked, "Why is this?"

Han Cui said: "The guardianship of the Ministry of Justice is all arranged by Your Majesty. As for the reasons behind it, it is unknown."

Han Jian sighed. He originally thought that the Luoyang City was a dead end. Now it seems that there is still room for improvement, and it depends on how much help the Shenxing Department can bring. Han Cui and Yang Ronger did not know how powerful the Shenxing Department's inner office had. Han Jian had seen it. The Shenxing Department's meticulous work in Jiangnan has been lurking for more than ten or even decades. They may be the same as ordinary people on weekdays, but when they are used by the court, they can even abandon their wives and children to fight for their lives. In the operation of blowing up the secret arsenal of Southern Qi in Jinling City, Han Jian later learned that nine out of ten of the Wei Dynasty's meticulous work were killed, and it was because of their sacrifice that the Southern Qi arsenal was completely destroyed.

Han Jian thought that the queen had been on guard against the rebellion of the Northern and Western Kings for more than ten years and should have the last trump card. If the inner trump card of the Shenxing Department is the last trump card, then what he has to do now is how to make good use of this trump card. After all, the Queen may have encountered any unexpected problems now, or she may have no choice but to do so. The Shenxing Department only obeys the Queen's orders. How can she use Shenxing Department as her own, or the only way to resolve the current dilemma in Luoyang City?

When Han Jian said his thoughts, Han Cui immediately opposed: "Jian'er, no matter what the Jingshi Department is, it is just a yamen, and there is still people behind it. People have good or evil, and Your Majesty is in an accident. How could they sacrifice their lives to save them? Don't think about anything else, leave Luoyang early, and have no other way."

Han Jian insisted: "Sanniang, I have said that if I have the chance, I will not leave. Even if I leave, I will take His Majesty with me!"
